Letter Writing Challenge
Our world of communication is filled with quick texts and emojis that are often lost from view. A letter, handwritten or typed, are timeless. Find someone, anyone, who you can connect with on a deeper, long-lasting level, with a personal letter.
Who can I write? Many people need some cheering up and the simple act of writing letter might do the trick. The elderly, especially those in nursing homes would love to receive a letter from you.
Dear Visitor,
How excited I am to be writing a letter to you. From the time of my adolescence, I loved letters. I had several pen pals of all ages, from youth my age, to the elderly grandmothers in my church. I had pen pals that lived in the same city and those from different states and countries. And oh, how I loved receiving letters. A letter received at the right time with the right words had the power to change my day and some even changed my life.
Sincerely,
Alana C .Marks
It's difficult not to feel lonely when someone is sick or in the hospital. A letter could put a smile on their face, if just for a moment.
